Mulvihill died in 2002. He drove a cab that was based at the back of a Wacol convenience store where Ms Phillips made a phone call after her car ran out of petrol on the night of May 9, 1986.
Detectives formed the view he was the killer after receiving a tip off.
Detective Inspector Damien Hanson says police are keeping an open mind, and will consider whether he may have had an accomplice.
